Oh, man - I kinda-sorta remember this movie! Actually, I remember the very last shot where Anthony Edwards shoots some chick in the ass with a dart.
What about Zapped? The movie where Scott Baio somehow gets telekinetic powers from his science experiment?

I vaguely remember watching Tron. When and how I can not remember. Frankly, I can't even remember the plot. Was there even a plot? All I remember is special effects. What has sparked this memory is reading Disney is doing a sequel. Strangely, even though I only remember the cheesy special effects, I'm really happy about this! |

The best movie Anthony Edwards made was Gotcha! Linda Fiorentino tricks him into smuggling microfilm out of East Berlin, and he spends the rest of the movie trying not to get killed by the KGB. Best line: "I can't just drop the film off at Fotomat, Dad, It's got SPY SHIT on it!" That movie was a hoot. I still love the scene where Edwards is in a French cafe and the waiter asks "avec de l'eau?" and he goes "victor who?" then later, obviously inebriated, treats Fiorentino to his very limited high school french. "Mon crayon est large" |

Zapped!!! Shit. Comic gold. HA! Another classic 80s movie that always had to have some random form of female nudity. Those were the days.  Revenge of the Nerds was awesome. I think that was on HBO last week and Mr. Spin and I just had to watch it. It had been awhile since we saw it from the very beginning. Which obviously lead to Gotcha as was previously mentioned. I even remember the theme song to that shit. I'm insane. Adventures in Babysitting is a 80s staple in my DVD collection. I love Elisabeth Shue and remembered that Keith Coogan was also in that mini-movie (I think made for TV?) called Summer in a Day. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was on this weekend. Old skool Keanu and the ever amazing George Carlin. ETA: OMG! I love that film! I used to watch it whenever it came on. It gave me nightmares as a kid. I used to freak out that we all needed to live in a metal lined house. Crazy shit. ETAA: I used to just lovelovelove The Boy Who Could Fly. It was such a sweet film and I always liked the girl who played Milly and thought the guy that played Eric was kinda cute. Plus, you got to see a super young Fred Savage and an older Mindy Cohn. Even better, you get the great Fred Gwynne and Colleen Dewhurst.

Adventures in Babysitting was my jam. Whenever I got sick, I would watch Better Off Dead. To this day, my dad still pulls out the "twooooo dollaaaaaaaars." I also never, ever, everrrr understood why anyone liked Lloyd Dobler. I always wanted to punch him in the face. Still do. God, James Spader was so hot. When I saw the advertisements for The Dead Zone, when the series first started, I was like, "Who in the what now?" Anthony Michael Hall turned into a BABE. My husband didn't even know who he was. And, much like Lloyd Dobler, I wanted to punch him in the face, too.  I don't think I'd ever admit it outside this board, but I liked The Boy Who Could Fly, too, Spin.

Remember Night Tracks, on TBS? My dad used to tape music videos off there, and there was this weird random video made to "Happy Together" and it had clips from this movie. That's all I know about it.
Yay to mentions of Summer School, Revenge of the Nerds and Desperately Seeking Susan. The only other Madonna role that was any good came in "Dick Tracy". Oh, and "A League of Their Own." Loved her in DSS.
I never saw The Boy Who Could Fly, but didn't that guy star in Not Quite Human with Alan Thicke and Robin Lively (of Teen Witch fame) as the robot son?
Two others that haven't been mentioned: License to Drive, with the Coreys, which is hilarious and brilliant (okay, maybe not BRILLLIANT) and Three Men and a Baby which for awhile manages to be quite funny before it gets heavy handed with the stupid heroin subplot. I LOVE TOM SELLECK, so of course I love this. And it also features Blair Waldorf's mom as his girlfriend in the movie. Fun fact!

Tom Selleck!!! Carrier76, do you remember how charming Selleck was in Her Alibi? I love that film!
Another star-crossed young lovers film that I vaguely remember starred Virginia Madsen and Craig Scheffer (sp?)(the loathsome Hardy in Some Kind of Wonderful). He was at a juvenile detention work camp and she went to a nearby Catholic school. I can't remember how it ends but I vividly remember her taking a photograph of herself in the creek in the woods a la Ophelia. I may have to head over to IMBD and see what that movie was called.

I never saw The Boy Who Could Fly, but didn't that guy star in Not Quite Human with Alan Thicke and Robin Lively (of Teen Witch fame) as the robot son? YES! Now that was train wreck of a movie, IMO. But, Teen Witch! One of my ultimate faves. I used to take the tape recorder and put it up to our mono speaker on the TV set to get all those awesome songs and sing and dance to them in my room. They never released a soundtrack! Finally, thanks to the internet, someone got them all out on MP3s and I occasionally rock out to them. Yes, I'm a nerd. Speaking of teenage robot sons, remember D.A.R.Y.L.? It had that kid from The Neverending Story, which by the way, was another great 80s fantasy flick. I sadly know every line by heart. What about The Monster Squad? One that hits close to home is that almost spot on computer/WWIII story that stars Matthew Broderick, War Games. I think I'm married to the character in that movie. |

I think someone did that to the song in "Mannequin," "Do You Dream About Me." I downloaded it awhile back, and the sound quality is bad, but that doesn't mean I don't rock out to it in the car. (It's the song playing when they're dancing around the store in all of the different outfits.)
